Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to an organizer tray for use on a mobile carrier, such as a library book truck or book carrier. Mobile book carriers including book trucks are generally used in libraries or other facilities for carrying and moving books. They typically have a series of shelves for storing books being returned to the shelves after such books are used or read within the library by library users, and not reshelved by the user after use, or after the books are deposited for return to the library by users who check out books for use outside the library.
- Librarians and other users frequently use the book carrier as a mobile work station to hold various supplies such as notepads, paper clips, pencils, cards and other writing implements as well as supplies for book repair and the like. Unfortunately, the flat shelves of the book carrier are not conducive to holding a plurality of small objects or items such as mentioned above. Objects can roll, tilt or fall from the shelf, particularly during carrier movement and repeated starting and stopping.
- In addition, while each shelf of the book carrier is designed to stack numerous books, the shelves, whether flat or slanted, are not particularly well suited as a writing surface.
- Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an organizer tray particularly but not exclusively suitable for use on a book carrier shelf which addresses at least some of the difficulties with standard book carriers.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide an organizer tray including an inclined writing surface suitable for use on a book carrier.
- It is a further object of the present invention to provide such an organizer tray with receptacles adapted for receiving differently sized and shaped objects.
- It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a combined mobile book carrier and a removable organizer tray with the features described above.
- The present invention provides an organizer tray which comprises a base suitable for resting on a book carrier shelf. The base includes a plurality of sides and a top surface which is carried by the plurality of sides. The top surface defines at least a substantially planar writing surface, preferably an inclined writing surface. The writing surface has a front edge, a rear edge and a plurality of side edges and is preferably inclined such that the elevation of the front edge is less than the elevation of the rear edge. The top surface of the tray may also define a plurality of receptacles on one or both sides of the writing surface. The receptacles are adapted for receiving articles of different sizes and shapes, such as paper clips of different sizes or shapes, pens, pencils and the like as well as book repair items such as glue containers, tape dispensers and the like.

- FIG. 1 illustrates a combination mobile book carrier and removable organizer tray, the combination being designated at10, which includes a
mobile book carrier 12 and anorganizer tray 40. For purposes of this invention, a mobile book carrier is defined broadly to include any type of mobile book or supply device without limitation to book carriers commonly known as book trucks. - Turning first to the
mobile book carrier 12, FIG. 1 illustrates a common style of book carrier or truck. The carrier has aframe 14 that may include, by way of example but not limitation,vertical end panels 16 andhorizontal shelves 18. Thevertical end panels 16 are located in spaced relation to each other, and intermediate vertical panels or supports may also be provided. The vertical andhorizontal members top surfaces edge surfaces horizontal shelves 18 extend betweenvertical end panels 16 for receivingbooks 22, video tapes, magazines or other items for transport in the library, resource center or similar setting. For purposes of this description, the book shelves of the carrier generally have a length L1 and a width W1. - For portability the
lowest shelf 18 or floor of the carrier mounts a plurality ofwheels 28, preferably pivotally mounted for rolling or turning the carrier. For grasping the carrier,side rails 30 are positioned adjacent theuppermost shelf 18. - Turning next to the
organizer tray 40, the organizer tray is adapted to rest, when in use, on theuppermost shelf 18 of thebook carrier 12. FIGS. 2-8 show the tray in greater detail. Theorganizer tray 40 includes a base, generally at 42, which has a length L2 and a width W2 which are preferably the same size or smaller than the length L1 and the width W1 of thebook shelves 18. Although thetray 40 will normally rest, either directly or indirectly on the uppermost shelf, (or upper portion of the frame 14) when in use, it is also contemplated that thetray 40 may be placed on one of the lower book shelves, as needed—for example when not in use. - The
base 42 of thetray 40 includes a plurality ofside walls 44 and a top surface, generally at 46, which is carried either directly or indirectly by the side walls. Ahorizontal flange 48 extends from a lower edge of theside walls 44 and defines a bottom edge orsurface 50 that rests on theshelf 18. Between theflanges 48 along thebottom edge 50, thebase 42 is substantially open to define ahollow interior 52 of thetray 40. - The
top surface 46 of thebase 42 defines a substantially planar writing surface, generally at 54, which may be horizontal but is preferably inclined for ease of use. Thewriting surface 54 is preferably partially raised above and inclined in relation to the remainingtop surface 46 of thebase 42. Thewriting surface 54 has afront edge 56, arear edge 58, and a pair ofside edges 60. Thefront edge 56 is lower than therear edge 58 and includes a raisedstop member 64 which is positioned near thefront edge 56 to hold any pens or pencils. Thewriting surface 54 may also include other securing devices or the like such as, for example, a pre-attached clip to further aid in securing sheets or paper or writing articles. - The
top surface 46 of thebase 42 further defines a plurality ofreceptacles 68. Thereceptacles 68 may be positioned on one or both sides of thewriting surface 54. Depending upon the size and orientation of the receptacles, certain receptacles may be positioned adjacent thewriting surface 54, such as the oval receptacle, whereas other receptacles may be positioned spaced from or remote from thewriting surface 54, such as the receptacle immediately left of the oval receptacle. - The
receptacles 68 may have various sizes and shapes for receiving numerous objects. FIGS. 2 and 9 illustrate receptacles having square, rectangular, circular, and oval shapes in various sizes. These shapes and sizes are shown by way of example and they are not intended to limit the invention. In fact, numerous other shapes and sizes are also possible. In addition, all or a portion of thetop surface 46 which defines the receptacles may be inclined in relation to a horizontal reference line. - Variations are also possible in the positioning and orientation of the
writing surface 54. Although thewriting surface 54 is shown as approximately centrally positioned on theorganizer tray 40, the writing surface may be positioned at either end of the tray or, alternatively, the writing surface may be located at other intermediate positions. It is also possible for more than one writing surface to be located on the organizer tray without departing from the scope of this invention. By way of example and not limitation, the tray may include two writing surfaces with one or more receptacles positioned between the writing surfaces. In addition to the variations already discussed, modifications in the elevation and size of the writingsurface 54 are possible. - The
organizer tray 40 is preferably made from any suitable, vacuum formed or injection molded, rigid plastic of sufficient strength. The method of manufacturing thetray 40 results in the formation of thehollow interior 52. As shown in FIGS. 3, 4, and 10, the hollow interior is formed by abottom surface 70 which is inverted with respect to thetop surface 46 where, for example, eachreceptacle 68 in thetop surface 46 forms a corresponding projection in thebottom surface 70. Theside walls 44 may include a slight draft or taper to allow easy removable from the mold. As a result, the organizer tray is lightweight, strong and durable. - During use, the tray provides at least one writing surface, preferably inclined, which is suitable for writing thereon by the user. Articles for writing may be placed on the writing surface and secured thereto so that the user may write on such articles while support is provided by the writing surface. The slope of the writing surface assists in providing the user with a convenient writing surface. Although the angle of the writing surface is generally shown as about 15 degrees as measured from a horizontal reference, other acute angles, such as up to 45 degrees or more, are possible without departing from the scope of this invention.
- The convenience of the organizing tray is enhanced by the receptacles which are capable of receiving a plurality of differently sized objects. The objects may include, by way of example but not limitation, cards, paper clips, notepads, adhesive notes, tape dispensers, glue containers, pens, pencils, markers, writing paper, and other supplies. Another advantage provided by the organizer tray is that it allows for the convenient transfer of many items at once when the tray is either fully or partially loaded with objects and writing articles.
- The organizer tray is combinable with the mobile book carrier to provide a mobile workstation. The tray may be removably placed on any one of the book shelves of the mobile book carrier, as contemplated by the user. The tray may be easily transferred between book shelves, or, alternatively, the tray may be transferred to and from the mobile book carrier from other surrounding surfaces.
- Whereas a preferred form of the invention has been shown and described herein, it is understood that other modifications, alterations and substitutions may be made to invention without departing from the scope of the claims.
